The Equestrian Connection#61 The Art of Equine Alchemy with Amber LydicCreating spaces where humans & horses can unlock their magic and healing
Over two decades ago, Amber started a successful business focused on helping performance horses with behavioral issues. However, she soon realized that a major part of the horses' problems stemmed from the humans, and at that time, no one was addressing how to support the human side of things. While Amber knew there was a disconnect, she wasn't sure what to do about it, so she continued to train horses to be safe for humans instead of also working towards making humans safe for horses.

Soundness, to me, is not just a word to describe a healthy and balanced horse, it is a way of living and interacting. The practical implementation of all knowledge starts with...
